IRS Form 941: Simple Reconciliation Form or Red Flag for an Audit?

OVERVIEW

After attending this webinar you will be able to:

• Describe the IRS Form 941, in detail, for your business needs.
• Discuss the efficiency of your payroll system vis-à-vis the information you need to complete Form 941 on time.
• Explain to your workforce the best practices for communicating to the payroll supervisors the information needed.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

The IRS Form 941 can be a forgotten item in today’s electronic filing environment. But its importance is greater now than ever. When it was manually prepared, payroll supervisors were more or less forced to consider what went into the calculations.

If it is time to be reminded of what this form says to the IRS, why not use this webinar as an opportunity to do so?
